Texans tumble two spots in USA TODAY NFL power poll

There are a couple of different ways to look at where the Houston Texans fall in the latest USA TODAY NFL power poll. The Texans fell two spots to No. 13 following the 41-38 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

The optimist will look and see the Texans are the highest-ranked team with a losing record. And despite giving up 41 points and struggling to keep 11 healthy bodies on the field on defense, they only fell two spots.

The pessimist will see the fall and wonder what the Texans need to do for more respect. The league’s highest-scoring team has shown they can play with anyone even after all the devastating injuries on defense. Oh, and the division rival Jaguars are four spots higher.

This week’s opponent, the Indianapolis Colts, are near the bottom at No. 30 and are the lowest-ranked team with a victory.
